Coffee roaster reviews

Roasting your own coffee is an art form that takes trial and error but it'll give you two major advantages over plain pre-roasted beans: better coffee, and cheaper coffee. We lab test and review three models to help you find the best coffee roaster for you. Our coffee roaster buying guide will help you decide which coffee roaster you need, and how we test explains our testing rigour.

You can spend well over $1000 on a coffee roaster, but there are cheaper alternatives. Our expert testers give every coffee roaster a thorough workout to help find the models that:

perform the best

are easiest to use

are the noisiest

come with useful roasting features.

We also give you good and bad points for each model, as well as the dimensions, so you'll know how much space they'll take up. Our Recommended rating will help you see quickly which models come out on top.
